Thanks Arctic,
but i cannot see any reference in those threads to where the hose from the fuel pressure regulator connects to?
I cannot find a reference to our cars but reading i'm finding out the hose is a return line?
Just need to find out where it returns to?

Is this it?
Going back into the manifold?

Joe this could be what you are looking for hopefully.

Excellent, thanks for confirming!

Ok, all put back together, hope I did not miss anything.
Topped up coolant then ran the car, now there’s a leak from the other side!
I looked underneath and it’s not from a hose but seems to be where the radiator sits in the plastic surround?
Any suggestions?

It's probalbly very obvious , i.e. its a radiator leak, maybe this is what originally caused the blockages?
I just need to ask if my next step is that i remove the whole radiator to inspect it?

Took off condenser to have a look, very easy job, found one tiny hole at the top of the radiator, which i can see even if the condenser was still in place, guess its a new radiator as i still have the bumper off.

Could anyone confirm these dimensions look correct?
I'm lucky to have a seller in Sydney, so i'm hoping it is ok, i see it has been purchased by other buyers through Ebay.

Could anyone confirm this would fit?
I'm surprised to see a Sydney seller, so will get it at a decent price and quickly, and it looks like other buyers bought one.

Do the dimensions looks correct

You're in the best position to judge that Joe. Why not measure your current radiator and compare with the dimensions given in the eBay listing?

Radiator purchased, fits perfect.
Coolant refilled, bled, tested , fan came on, coolant temp dropped, no leaks so far!
I now need this bleeder hose.. LLH102660L
I’m finding difficulty finding one here, can I repair the one I have using heater hose?
